back the good old days.
There is no doubt that the “Hitman” will bring his touch to the already action-packed session which is part of the Shisa Nyama, where revellers braai while listening to some cool vibes.
This is not the first time “The Hitman” has played alongside Huggies Entertainment, in fact, he was part of the group before he left for Malawi. He rose to fame while he hosted the popular radio show “The Jacking Zone” where he threw down some serious house music hit after hit.
And when it came to house music nobody did it as much as the “Hitman”. Radio listeners and club goers loved him for his great artistry while he was behind the decks as well as his deep voice on the mic. Although he was good on the decks, the “Hitman” used to rock the mic with much ease.
Apparently it would be a joy to see the “Hitman” sharing the decks with Kudzi “Mr Kool” Marudza, the man who first introduced him to deejaying while he was a student at Mutare Boys’ High. Through Mr Kool’s encouragement, the “Hitman” became one of the sought-after presenters to emerge in Zimbabwe.
So the two go a long way and their friendship off and on the decks makes the gig an experience to cherish.
The recently introduced Shisa Nyama at ZimCafe will now be held every Friday and Saturdays starting at 6pm then on Sunday the show starts as early as 12 midday.
According to Witness Matema of Huggies Entertainment, all is set for the Shisa Nyama this weekend.
“We used to hold Shisa Nyama every Sunday but due to the demand we now start from Friday right through to Sunday. Of course, Sunday is where we play some jazz tracks. So for the coming Sunday’s we are going to be introducing what is known as “Voice of Jazz Legends” featuring the likes of Bob Nyabinde, Phillip Svosve on sax and Jazz Invitation, to mention a few.
He, however, said the Shisa Nyama was not to be missed as it was a combination of music and culinary delights.
The Shisa Nyama which literally means “burn the meat” in isiZulu, is a buy-and-barbecue concept that started in South Africa’s townships and has taken off among Johannesburg’s middle class.
On Sundays, local butcheries spill out of their shops, grilling meat on an open fire to your specifications.
What started off as a way for township butcheries to increase their weekend sales has grown in popularity, becoming a place where people go to relax and socialise. To the grilled offerings were added informal bars, music performances and car washes, catering to those who wanted to while away the afternoon.
As a favourite hangout spot for up-and-coming professionals and South Africa’s emerging middle class, these sites are quickly becoming large networking sessions where business deals are sometimes brokered.
The Shisa Nyama spot in Midrand lets you bring in your own drinks before midday on Sundays, fill your cooler box with your favourite drink and spend your Sunday eating, drinking and relaxing to the latest house music beats.
